    Press is a fully analog stereo compressor that combines features usually exclusive to professional studio equipment with modern VST controls. It offers the tight, natural response of classic analog rack units while incorporating unique controls and features not found in other pedals. 

     

    Polyend Press Analog Stereo Compressor Pedal Features

    • Stereo IN/OUT
    • Full Analogue Circuitry
    • Parallel Compression
    • Variable Ratio Up to Limiting
    • Tilt EQ boosts or cuts
    • Sidechain Low and High Pass Filters
    • Internal or External Sidechain
    • Compact Aluminum Body

     

    Press is an advanced compressor that works anywhere in the signal chain, from finalizing and limiting to adding control after gain staging or taming wild modulation and time-based effects. Dial in the exact amount of desired compression with Ratio and Threshold controls. Dedicated attack and release knobs can create aggressive punch or subtly tame peaks. Roll off the mix knob for New York-style compression to blend the dry and compressed signal, and add some color with the tilt control to shift the wet signal’s EQ balance across the low/high-frequency range.


    Press offers unique stereo sidechain control that cannot be found in another analog compressor pedal. The high and low pass filters work on either the Stereo input or the external stereo sidechain thru. This allows for precise control of the sound triggering the sidechain by stopping problem frequencies from triggering the gain reduction circuit. Use the LPF to filter out the high end of a bass guitar or the HPF to remove the boom from a kick drum to sculpt your sound in ways that were not possible in analog pedals before. 

     

    Even with all these features the Press is a knob-per-function compressor designed to be simple to set up and operate.

     

    Stereo IN/OUT 

    You can use Press as a finalizing compressor, allowing you to break free from the confines of mono compression. No longer restricted to being first in your signal chain.

     

    Full Analogue Circuitry
    Clear analog compression that delivers a pristine response and ample headroom.

     

    Parallel Compression
    Reduce the mix for parallel compression without the concerns of phase issues common in digital devices.

     

    Variable Ratio Up to Limiting
    Adjust the compressor's ratio from a gentle 2:1 compression to more aggressive limiting levels.

     

    Tilt EQ
    A single knob that boosts highs and cuts lows to the right and cuts highs and boosts lows to the left, active only on the wet signal for greater versatility.

     

    Sidechain Low and High Pass Filters
    Mold and filter the signal that activates the compressor without changing the dry tone, providing exceptional control.

     

    Internal or External Sidechain
    Toggle the gain reduction circuit between being triggered by the signal passing through the compressor or an external source, using the dedicated stomp switch.

     

    Compact Aluminum Body

    Sturdy all-aluminum construction (including the knobs), in a small, portable form factor.
